IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

Work Permit applications must be signed by the employer prior to submission to a school site administrator.

• All minors need a work permit to legally work in California.
• Work permits are only issued by the school district to students who attend an Irvine Unified School District school.  If you attend a private school, charter school, or are homeschooled, you must seek a permit from your school administrator.
• Students must have an offer of a paid job - we do not issue blank work permits.
• A parent or guardian must also sign the application.
• A social security number is required to process a work permit.
• The completed “official” work permit is signed by the student and taken to his/her employer.
• Each new job requires a new work permit.
• Make sure that all sections of the application are completed for processing.  If sections are left blank or incomplete, IUSD is unable to process your application.
• There is no minimum GPA required for summer work permits.
• All work permits issued during the summer will expire five days into the new school year and must be renewed as needed.
